350 rushing touches max with his physical style, 50 receptions to bring it up to 400. I hope he is managed well, not a two or three season wonder cos he is run into the ground._________________I survived Johannesburg, 2013.

400/16=25 touches per game. 3-4 passes and 21-22 rushing attempts. Seems like a reasonable goal._________________

Really hope he can start the season off completely healthy and remain that way. The Kellen Davis signing makes more sense now too.

Absolutely. The thing to keep in mind with both Davis and Barnidge is they're both more athletic then you'd think. Davis (4.59 40) and Barnidge (4.61 40) can both block pretty well and are underrated receiving options. Once everything gets going, defenses won't know what the heck to do when they see both on the field at the same time because if they over-commit to the run they will get torched in the passing game

You factor that in with the more vertical mindset that Chud and Norv bring and it's going to keep guys out of the box because they have to respect the deep ball. Honestly, this is already a more innovative approach to the offensive side of the ball then Shurmur brought because he did no one on the offense any favors. It's going to put a lot of stress on opposing defenses and DC's because their are so many options per every play

The next step is for the coaching staff to really start working on Cameron Jordan's blocking ability. The guy can be a monster in this offense, but to see the field he's going to have to learn to block so the offense isn't predictable and they need to get Davis on a juggs machine because he needs to catch the ball better than he has in the past to fully utilize his physical abilities

I don't think setting a goal on carries is ever smart. Use him effectively, not excessively. If you need him to touch the rock 30 times in a game do it, but if you can get by using him on 12 carries and using him as a decoy to set up play fakes let that happen as well.

I'm never a fan of forcing action to a player. Be dynamic and constantly adapting.

That being said - hes got the potential to be our best playmaker (and one of the best in the NFL), so it excites me that our staff cant wait to use him._________________

I think he'll get an Arian Foster type work load, which is a lot, but Trent will get more receiving opportunities as opposed to 300+ carries so it evens out a bit. It'll actually be pretty similar to the stats he put up last year in terms of rushing attempts and receptions

The difference (hopefully), is he won't have a whole defense waiting on him on every snap due to the type of offense Chud runs

This hit the spot for me. D's knew when we where going to run because I knew when we where going to run. We had the most predictable offense in the league last year. Wen we run is what I feel has to and will change, not how often we run, but when.

The predictability last year enraged me.

I used to call the plays, even the 3rd and short of a 1st, aloud.

Turner's O has ridden on the backs of some very successful backs who were used a lot.

So be it. If you have a horse, you ride it.

ricky williams sucked for 5 years after he was ridden hard. 27-31, wasted space. albeit that included the retire year. larry johnson washed up at 28.

rather not that happen to trent richardson. this is just another example of how you lack in long term vision though.

Think Smith and Tomlinson, not losers like Williams and Johnson (really, Johnson?...haha)._________________Everything happens exactly the way it is supposed to happen...otherwise, it would happen some other way
